• Jefferson Will Consider Giving Up Public Rights To Part Of Moose Drive (patch.com) — Jefferson residents may see a change to their local map as township officials consider vacating public rights to an undeveloped portion of Moose Drive adjoining properties on Longwood Lake Road. The proposed ordinance, up for first reading at Wednesday's council meeting, would extinguish public road rights while preserving utility access and requiring the property owners to cover all associated municipal costs.
• Jefferson Township High School Sports Roundup: Teams Compete in Morris County Tournament, Prepare for States (TAPinto.net) — Jefferson Township High School teams are deep into their fall seasons, with volleyball advancing in the Morris County tournament and field hockey winning six of its last seven. Girls and boys soccer are regrouping after county losses, while football still seeks its first win after falling to Vernon. These results set up key matchups and state tournament pushes for Jefferson athletes.
• Jefferson Township High School Honors Military Personnel at 'Salute to Service' Football Game (TAPinto.net) — Jefferson Township residents were invited onto the high school football field as veterans and active-duty service members were honored before the "Salute to Service" game in Jefferson. A heartfelt PA tribute recognized their sacrifice and ongoing legacy, even as the Falcons fell to Vernon 46–6. The ceremony emphasized gratitude for both public and private reflections on service.
